Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 16, 2006 Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (the "Company") filed a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announcing that the Company and its Canadian subsidiary, ACS Public Sector Solutions, Inc., had received a summons issued February 15, 2006 by the Alberta Department of Justice requiring the Company and its subsidiary to answer a charge of a violation of a Canadian Federal law which prohibits giving, offering or agreeing to give or offer any reward, advantage or benefit as consideration for receiving any favor in connection with a business relationship. The alleged violation relates to the Canadian subsidiary’s photo enforcement services contract with the City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which is currently a month-to-month contract with annual revenue of approximately $2,000,000 (U.S. dollars).

Legal counsel to the Alberta government (the "Crown") has begun disclosure to the Company of information on which it based the charge described in the summons and the Company has reviewed such information and will continue to review additional information as it becomes available. The Company is also continuing its internal investigation of this matter. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the charge. Based on its internal investigation and its review of the Crown’s information disclosure to date, the Company believes it has sustainable defenses to the charge. The summons set a scheduling hearing date for March 27, 2006. However, the Company and the Crown’s counsel have jointly agreed to an adjournment of the proceedings until such time as the Crown’s counsel has completed its information disclosure to the Company and the Company has had an opportunity to review such information.
